Yoel's takedown style

[Drain Bamage]

Holy shit this guy uses so much energy on his takedown attempts

Why does he always grab his opponent up high and try to wrench them down with his arms all extended like that?

He rarely shoots for singles or doubles, and half the time ends up slamming himself down into the canvas when he misses the takedown

It's a very different style from DC for example

 

[DarkneT]

He honestly looks like he has no gameplans ever

Just turns up and whatever happens happens

Weidman commented how takedowns are funky

Styles are gonna change when you have to mash your main style into a well rounded MMA game...Yes he grabs his opponent up high and try to wrench them down with his arms all extended like that. Gaethje is an All American for example and he doesnt even wrestle. Dan Henderson was a wrestler. Point is when you prefer striking you stand differently than you would as if you were strictly looking for a take down. You use what technique you can in your style of wrestling while reserving caution to strike again if you have to

He won a silver medal in the olympics. Let’s just assume he knows how to wrestle better than sherdog.

Might be something to do with his neck. He said he had really serious neck surgery not that long ago.

Putting down a black fighter = racism confirmed

Report this fool

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

Are you aware that lowering your head and approaching a MMA fighter at his legs can lead to disastrous results? *insert 50 gifs of flying knee counters*

 

[Kumason]

I wrestled for over 10 years,judo etc.Very explosive bursts...not everyone can look like GSP.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Yoel rather kickbox than employ a wrestle heavy game with top control like a Kamaru or Colby does.

He already knows he can wrestle, did it his entire life. Most guys like that have some ego where they wanna NOT use wrestling and use the “new” striking toys they are learning to win like a Gaetje type of wrestler/fighter.

He's a Cuban freestyle guy. You can't expect him to wrestle like Americans.
